Cautions regarding the USB key

Cautions regarding the USB key

If the KORG Legacy Collection - DIGITAL EDITION software will not start
even though the USB key is connected, please check the following points.
If youre using a USB hub, try connecting the key directly to a USB port on
the computer itself to see whether it will work. You can also try removing all
other connected USB devices except for the key.
Download the most recent driver for the USB key. The most recent USB key
drive can be downloaded from http://www.syncrosoft.com/downloads.
If the USB key is damaged, a fee will be charged for repair. Be careful of handling.
Dont connect the key to a USB port or hub that supplies a voltage higher than
the 5 V specified by the USB specification. If youre using a powered USB hub,
using the wrong AC adaptor may damage the USB key. If youre using a Mac, be
aware that the USB port located on the rear of the Apple display may provide
excessive voltage, so avoid connecting the USB key to that port.

Use a USB cable to connect the external MIDI device to your computer.
Connect the USB-hardware key to your computer.
Navigate to the KORG folder - KORG Legacy folder, and double-click the
software synthesizer icon to start up the program.

Windows
The KORG Legacy folder is in the location you specified when installing the software. By default, it will be in the KORG folder within the Program Files
folder. Alternatively, you can click the [Start] button on the task bar, then All Programs, and start up the program by choosing from KORG folder - KORG
Legacy folder.

Mac
Navigate to the Application folder - KORG folder - KORG Legacy folder,
and double-click software synthesizer icon to startup the program.

From the System menu, choose Preference.

The Preference dialog box Audio Device will appear. If MIDI Setting appears,
click the Audio Device tab.
The first time you start up the software, or if the preference settings have been
cleared for some reason, or if your computer system has changed, the preference
dialog box will appear automatically at start-up.

Audio settings

In Driver type or Output Device, select the type of audio driver you want to
use.

Windows
ASIO: The ASIO driver will be used. ASIO drivers allow minimal latency, and will
give you the best performance. If an ASIO driver is installed, we recommend that
you use this setting.
DirectSound: DirectSound will be used. Use this setting if an ASIO driver is not
installed in your computer.
MME: MME (Multi Media Extension) will be used.
Since MME has higher latency than other settings, we recommend that you use
another setting if possible.

Setup
Mac
If audio interface is installed in your computer, you will be able to select the driver
for that audio interface.
If audio interface is not installed, you will only be able to select Built-in audio
controller.
Specify the audio output.

Windows
If you selected ASIO in Driver type
This will be unavailable and cannot be selected if an ASIO driver is not installed in
your computer.

Driver
Select the driver (device) you will use.

Sampling Rate
Select the sampling rate you will use. The choices for Sampling rate will depend
on the device you select for Driver.

Out Channel
Select the output channels. This setting will always be a pair such as 1-2 or 3-4. The
choices will depend on the device you select for Driver.

Clock Source
Select the audio clock source that you will use. The choices will depend on the
device you select for Driver.

ASIO Control Panel

Click this to open the ASIO driver settings panel.
The contents and operation in this panel will depend on the driver you are using.
For details, refer to the owners manual for your audio interface.

If you select DirectSound or MME as the Driver type

In Driver
Select the driver (device) you will use.

Setup

In some cases, the same driver may appear more than once. Select one of them.

Bit/Smpl Rate/Ch
Select the audio format you will use. The choices will depend on the device you
select for Input driver.

Buffer Size
Specify the number of audio processing buffers. Higher settings will make operation more stable, but latency will be higher. Latency is the time from when the
computer receives a note-on message until sound is produced. Latency is determined by the number of samples x the number of buffers. You should set the
buffer size and the sample size in a way that minimizes latency while preserving
stable operation.

Sample Size
Specify the number of samples in one buffer. Higher settings will make operation
more stable, but latency will be higher.

Installation/Setup guide
Mac
Bits/Rate/Channel
Select the audio format you will use. The choices will depend on the device you
selected as the Output Device.

Output Channel
If you selected Built-in audio controller as the Output Device, the only
available setting will be Output 1/Output 2. If audio interface is installed in
your computer, you will have other choices.
Buffer Size
Specify the size of the audio processing buffer. Higher settings will make operation more stable, but latency will be higher.

Latency
This indicates the latency. The latency will depend on the Buffer Size setting.
Latency is the time from when the computer receives a note-on message until
sound is produced. Latency is determined by the number of samples x the
number of buffers. You should set the buffer size in a way that minimizes latency
while preserving stable operation.
The Latency value is determined by the buffer size. You should set Buffer Size
to the lowest setting for which operation is stable.
For details on how to make settings for your audio interface, refer to the owners
manual for your audio interface.

MIDI settings

1
2

Click the MIDI Setting tab.

The various port settings will appear.
For MIDI IN devices 1, 2, and 3, select the device that you will use for each port.
You can use up to three MIDI IN devices simultaneously. Normally, the input
from these devices will all be merged. If a multi-port device is connected, this
screen may show two or more ports on the same device.
In the Clock Master field, select the device that will be the MIDI clock master.
If you dont select a device, the internal clock will always be used. When the software instrument is operating as a plug-in, the clock of the host application will
always be used.
If the device you want to use does not appear in the selection for each port, check
the following points.

Win: Is the connected device driver installed?

Mac: Is the connected device detected in your computer?
Mac: If the device you want to use does not appear in the selection for each port, navigate to the Application folder Utility Audio MIDI Setup, display the
MIDI device tab page, and check whether the connected external MIDI device
has been detected.

Setup

Other settings

Click the Other tab.

A dialog box with settings for operation (Knob Mode) and automatic stopping will
appear.

In the Control area, set Knob Mode to specify how you want the knobs to operate.

Circular
Edit values by moving the mouse pointer to the mark indicating a knobs value,
and dragging to turn the knob. You can also move the knob immediately by
directly clicking the desired position.

Relative Circular
Edit values by dragging as if to turn the knob to the desired position. You will not
be able to move the knob by clicking as with the Circular setting above.

Linear
Edit values by dragging the knob upward or downward.

In the AutoStop Setting area, specify if and when you want the audio to stop automatically.
The Auto Stop function automatically stops the audio depending on the CPU load
of your computer. (The result is the same as when you execute the System menu
command Stop Audio.) If you want to use the Auto Stop function, check the
Enable AutoStop check box, and use the AutoStop Rate slider to specify the
load threshold at which the audio will be stopped. If the CPU load exceeds this
threshold during operation, the audio will stop. If the audio has been stopped
automatically, use the System menu command Play audio to resume playing.
If audio stops frequently, try lightening the load on the CPU by reducing the
polyphony of the synthesizer(s).

Setup

If you dont use the Auto Stop function, the system will attempt to continue producing audio as long as possible. However, depending on the hardware you are
using, you may experience problems such as the mouse becoming unresponsive
when the audio load is high.
Click OK to finalize the preference settings.
